Some of you guys are over-thinking this racing game. Keep it simple and on a budget and go have FUN. My kids stock cast crank runs 6.54 at 3200 pounds (10.20's-10.30's) and with an alternator, alcohol fuel, (165.00 for 54 gallons) he charges the battery once a month because cooling isn't needed at all in the pits. Frame connectors, caltracks, stock wheel-wells, 4.10 gears 8 3/4 rearend, 727 transmission, 750 alcohol carb done by APD, 11-1 comp, small 620 lift roller cam, Edelbrock heads and Victor intake I ported, 1 7/8 Hedmen headers, and 6 point cage, and the only fiberglass is a heavy 6 pak hood. Heck it still has the rear seat and a stock passenger side bucket seat (race seat for driver. Don't let guys BS you and say about all the EXTRA work running alcohol. Pull the seats on his car, fiberglass bumpers, aluminum bumper brackets and he's 10's. Don't over-think it.
